Sarah Palin is on the move and the moves are very smart. First, she has officially formed her own political action committee.
“SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country," says the PAC’s Web site, which promises that Palin will be "a strong voice for energy independence and reform."
One of Sarah’s strong points is energy independence and the development of alternative and renewal energy. In her State of the State address, she reiterated her energy plan for Alaska , part of which is to meet her goal of generating 50 percent of Alaska ’s electric power with renewable sources. She said, “That’s an unprecedented policy across the U.S. , but we’re the state that can do it with our abundant renewables, and with Alaskan ingenuity.” And now it sounds like she plans on using that ingenuity on a national basis.
The PAC’s website further states, “Your support of SarahPac will make it possible for Gov. Palin to continue to be a strong voice for energy independence and reform. By supporting SarahPac, you will allow Gov. Palin to help find and create solutions for America 's most pressing problems; priority number one is building a strong and prosperous economy that recognizes hard work, innovation and integrity by rewarding small businesses and hard working American families. SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin's ideas and goals for our country”.
A spokesperson for the PAC also explained that, since Sarah continues to receive a high volume of speaking engagements, she would be able to use PAC money to pay for her travel expenses.
This is really exciting news for all Sarah Palin supporters and fans! It means Sarah is planning on staying in politics and is looking toward the future…could it be 2012? It also, in my opinion, is good news for the Republican Party. It means they have someone who can draw a crowd and keep people excited about the party and who is also willing to travel to support other candidates.
Nah-nah-stick-out-my-tongue to Colin Powell and all of the other critics and jealous Republican men; she’s in it for the long haul, guys, so get used to it.
Other exciting news, although I do not have a second confirmation on this, is that Sarah has been invited to attend the annual dinner of the Alfalfa Club. What the heck is that, I asked?
Well, it turns out the Alfalfa Club is an exclusive group of about 200 rich and influential people. It was founded in 1913 for the sole purpose of having a once-a-year dinner to honor the birthday of Civil War General Robert E. Lee. Several Presidents have been members and it is fairly common for the current President to attend and speak. Last year, Bush attended. Colin Powell was also an attendee last year. Hillary Clinton broke the gender gap in 1994 when she attended the dinner with Bill.
Each member is permitted to invite two guests to the $200-a-plate dinner. And it sounds like Sarah got one of the invitations! I wonder if Powell will snub her.
A few of the current and past members include Madeleine Albright, Warren Buffet, John Foster Dulles, Alan Greenspan, Vernon Jordan Jr., Walter Mondale, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ronald Reagan, Harry Truman, William Rehnquist, and Earl Warren.
So, Sarah’s off and running and I am excited and thrilled that she is moving forward. She is a true servant leader and the country needs her and more people like her in public service. After four years of Oblah blah’s arrogance and negative views on our country and the people who live here, people will be starving for Sarah’s down-to-earth, sensible, and positive perspective.
What this world needs now is some female power running things. The guy techniques have really screwed things up on this planet. We need leaders who think before they act; don’t use a nuclear bomb to kill an ant; have empathy for others; are humble; and understand consequences.
I think, when 2012 rolls around, it’s possible both our presidential candidates could be women: Hillary and Sarah. I would be so happy; I think I would work for both! Go Sarah! Go Hillary! What the world needs now is women..more women...in positions of power.

This is an interview with Sarah today in which she confirms she will be going to the Alfalfa Club and so is Obama.
